| Misc Facts | The tubers should be lifted after the frost has killed the top. They should be cleaned and stored dry and cool. I like to store the clump whole and then divide it in the spring. Depending on your storage area they may need to be moistened. Check occasionally to see if the tubers are shriveling.
